    Thank you for the additions! They all 3 look the same to me except for the outfit/hairstyle. Would have been nice to have a female Vorta or a Cardassian? . But good additions anyways.

    I will name them Larry, Moe and Curley tiger-2.gif​​

    Am I reading this correctly?

    The EV Suit is a per character addition, but the 3 Jem'Hadar BOFFs is once per account???

    They used different wording in describing the unlockability for each so just wanting to clarify.

    Once per character per account. Think it is each Character.

    Just a shame none of them are Cardassian :'(

    My read is that the two phrases DO mean different things.

    The EV suit can be claimed as many times as you want, but you can only have one at a time, thus you can reclaim it if you throw it away.

    The bridge officers can be claimed once per character, and NOT reclaimed if dismissed.

    The emphasis is "Per" meaning for each one of your characters per account. Wording is strange but that is what it means.

    I do wish they add Cardy Bridge officers of both sexes, male and a female - three per character, per account. Come on Cryptic throw us another bone.

    Together with the Delta Rising Pack Officers and the various special officers one could have over the years, it's really hard to still build a normal crew...

    And one is quickly running out of BO slots, too.

    Does that mean you can only claim the EV suit for yourself but not for your boffs?

    yeah sounds that way... "can be claimed once per character" but won't know for sure till after release. could be an error.

    Same as the TOS EV Suit. Only for you. For your Boffs 'No soup for you! Next.'

    You can putfit your BOffs with the TOS EV suits by buying them for...... Dilithium of course!

    It's worth it for the immersion, too bad they don't make anymore TOS missions.

    Glad they keep adding more stuff to the Jemhadar character since I have to push through the mastery on all the ships so my main can use them, makes it less tedious for those of us that are not fans.

    I bought my Gamma Vanguard Pack last night. It's nice to know I'll get more goodies than I had planned. Thanks Cryptic.

    I can see why you'd read it that way. It's interesting how they're changing the availability if what you're saying is true...

    I expect the BOffs will be similar to the threesome of special Intelligence BOffs that were included in the Delta Rising Operations Pack. If so, then each character could claim one "kit" of three BOffs. While they were in your roster or pending you couldn't claim more, but if you discharge all three, you can reclaim all three again.

    I bought the Temporal Special Agent Pack, which includes the TOS EV Suit. I do use it on my TOSling character who is as all TOS-themed as possible. I happen to think it looks great. I dunno about the new Jem'Hadar suit, but I was able to claim as many TOS EV Suits as I wanted, in this case one for the Captain and each of his Away Team BOffs.

    Edit: I'm embarassed to say I was incorrect about this. I did only get one of the TOS EV Suits per character and ltminns was correct - No Soup for the BOffs. I must have been thinking of something else when I was claiming for my Captain and BOffs. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

    First impressions: I really love how they look except perhaps for the thigh boots. But the color scheme and texturing are nice. I just never liked thigh boots, which always felt one artistic line away from lingerie and that's a dungeon that might be better left unexplored.

    Not to nitpick but we've actually had a jem'hadar EV suit for quite awhile now. Need I point out that the first EV suit we ever got was provided on a jem'hadar ship?

    Also, hate to say it but kael you kind of let the cat out of the bag a couple weeks back on this one, as you mentioned there being boffs in the pack on one of the livestreams, before they were announced. So this wasn't exactly a surprise

    Well now, Vanguard BOFFs for the package I've already bought, can't say I'll complain about that, thanks guys! I'd be interested in seeing the stats for the EV suit...

    Wow I see there is absolutely no love for those of us who bought the starter pack.

    I really can't understand why they won't add the Cardassian uniform at the very least, it would make up for not getting a Cardassian faction.
    I stream on Twitch, look for Avoozl_
  • tiberius183tiberius183 Member Posts: 46 Arc User
    I wonder if the Vanguard boff traits will work in space as well as ground like the Vanguard character's does...

    Last night's livestream someone asked that... Of course they asked Bort and Thomas.... The onl actualy information was when Thomas said "Was that added as an episode play reward?" Then Bort was like "I don't remember." Because neither of them actually worked on it, that was someone else.

    I've spent an awful lot on this game over the years. But I think I'll give this one a miss and wait for the inevitable dribbling out of these features. Good looking ships, but whew that pack needs to include zen or something else before I'd consider it.

    Not a complaint - just speaking for myself. :)

    Are those boffs for Dominion only, or all characters?
